As soon as I tap him on the shoulder I start to overthink should I even tell him , I know he has a right to know but what if I ruin his relationship with his mom , our mom , what if he already knows about me , what if he thinks I'm just saying this for clout as he's an actor , god why does my brain have to overthink everything in my entire life
He turns around which snaps me out of my trance "Can I help you" he asks oblivious to the fact that I'm having an actual anxiety attack right now "Are you chase stokes?" I ask trying to sound less anxious that doesn't work though if anything it makes me even more anxious I feel my hands shake even more if that's even possible
"Yes I am who are you?" He says curiously "I'm Mackenzie can I speak to you in private I say glancing around the table at all the unknown faces in the group he's with one catches my eye though a blonde haired ,blue eyes boy who looks to be atleast my age if not a year or so older he's quite attractive he's looks like the type of guy I'd like to get to know
"Whatever you've got to say you can say it in front of my friends." He says calmly like it's not life changing news that I'm about to break to him I take a deep breath and nod "I... I think your my brother" I say with a shaky voice "What?" He reply's shocked and suddenly turning serious "I'm Mackenzie stokes can we speak in private and I'll tell you the whole story" I ask him hoping he'd be understanding about it he nods and I walk towards a table in the corner of the shop I pass haven and she looks at me and gives me a small smile which I return I sit down on the chair in the corner and look out the window that is until chase breaks the silence
"So what made you think I'm your brother" he asks me which is quite a valid question considering I'm 23 and he obviously never knew about me "Before I tell you this I want you to know Im not using you for clout i promise, I was put in foster care from when I was born up until I turned 18 , I'm now 23 , I'm from here , I've been recently looking into my birth family and the orphanage told me my mom was called Jennifer canning I got in contact with her this morning, on instagram here's the messages" I say passing him my phone
He's definitely not going to believe me nobody ever does , he will take our moms side because quite frankly I would , I knew my life was one of the chaotic ones but this is just absolute madness, the only thing that is an actual constant in my life has been haven , I hope that I will have chase too
He quickly reads the messages and passes me my phone back "you never needed to show me those I believe you but I can't believe she never told me , i also can't believe she said that stuff to you" he says which makes me shrug "I'm kinda used to it" I reply nonchalantly "you shouldn't have to be your my sister I know I've only just met you but your my family and that means something to me" he says reaching over grabbing my hand I look at him and smile I feel a few tears slipping out of my eyes "I've never really had a family" I say quietly
"Hey don't cry I'm here now I'm not going anywhere" chase says rounding the table he pulls me into a hug something that I've rearly felt
"T..thank you for believing me" I sniffle "I'll always believe you you family Mackenzie even though I've only just met you your my sister and I love you I can't wait to get to know you and what's happened in your life " he says as I hug him tighter "I've never been told that before I.. I love you too I promise I'll tell you everything" "Ive always wanted a sister" chase says when we pull away from a hug " well you've got one now" I say smiling as I wipe my tears
"Would you like to meet my friend" Chase says gesturing towards the group of people who I saw earlier "I.. um sure I can also introduce you to my friend haven" I say as we walk towards everyone
Well that went a lot better than I expected I'm not looking forward to when our mom finds out , it wasn't intentional I didn't know he'd be here but in a way I'm glad he is , I have someone who's not haven who's they're for me now someone I hope will never leave me to deal with this world alone , this day has been one for the dramatics
Never in my twenty three years of life has one day been as chaotic as today has but would I change it probably not if I was to tell myself ten years ago that I'd have met my brother and about to meet his friends , I'm worried about what's gonna happen if he goes to film something does he even live in Maryland , all these questions battle in my mind I honestly don't know how im gonna be able to tell chase all about my past when I don't like telling people how I feel, it's all new to me , I still need to get a job but that will wait until another time today I just want to spend with my brother, haven and his friends after I meet them
Oh boy I wouldn't have guessed what today had in store for me from that moment...
